Halal eats at the new White Sands Shopping Centre

Dec 30, 2015 / Written by Halal in the City

Practically all of the new tenants at White Sands Shopping Centre, which began its latest phase of renovations in 2014, are now open. Residents of Pasir Ris and Tampines have a handful more halal options to pick from, including:

Toast, pancakes and waffles especially (half-priced waffle Tuesdays, folks!) are what Geláre is known for, but they also have pasta and sandwiches if you're looking for something savoury. Need something for the road? Pop into PrimaDeli instead on the same floor and order one of their fuss-free pandan waffles to go.

Tuck into halal tzechar dishes like assam curry fish head and gongbao mantis prawns, plus Penang specialties like assam laksa, belachan fried rice and wok fried kway teow at this comfortable air-conditioned space. As of Dec 29, the Gurney Drive outlet at White Sands has applied and is waiting for its MUIS halal certification, but maintains that its suppliers are all halal.

The popular Singapore pizza chain now has an outlet in Pasir Ris Central, with its signature Western options like the meat-laden Big Daddy, plus more local flavours like Chicken Rendang and Sambal Ikan Bilis. Most Pezzo outlets islandwide are halal certified, but as of Dec 9, this one's still not listed on the MUIS website.

Brand new Pasir Ris Library

If you ask us, those nine months that Pasir Ris residents were left without a reading sanctuary were worth it. Gone are the muted carpeting, awkward couches and music booths - in their place is a more open, young adult-centric environment (second-floor Teens' Mezzanine, techie additions like a digital doodle wall) with a contemporary design reminiscent of the popular Library@Orchard.
